Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Lightly spray a large baking pan or large baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut the pears in half and, using a cookie scoop, melon baller, or a spoon, core out the seeds. Arrange pears, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan. You may want to slice a sliver off the back of the pear so that it lies flat. Sprinkle the pears with cinnamon, top with your favorite granola, store-bought or homemade, and drizzle with honey.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until soft and lightly golden on the edges. If the pears were firm, you may need to extend the baking time. Remove from the oven and serve warm with yogurt and additional granola for a nice crunchy texture.

Notes

Pears: I like Royal Riviera, Bosc, and Anjou Pears. They bake well and provide the best texture. Be sure to use a ripe pear, which means there will be some give, but they should not be mushy.
Granola: Use your favorite granola. I always have a batch of my healthy granola recipe on hand, which is delicious, but store-bought works simply and easily too.
Make Ahead: Pears are best when served immediately after baking but you can make them ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm them in the oven for 10 minutes before serving.
